Episode Details

Ninety-nine-year-old WWII veteran Wiley Tow soared back into the skies in a restored Stearman biplane—just eight days before his 100th birthday—honoring his service and celebrating the Greatest Generation with a heartfelt flight organized by Dream Flights. One of eight veterans from the Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home to experience this tribute, Tow, a decorated mechanic who served in Europe, signed the plane’s tail—a cherished tradition for WWII vets. As communities rally to honor his legacy, the home invites people to send birthday cards, and a public celebration is set for August 14 at 2 PM. This touching moment reminds us why we must never forget the sacrifices of those who flew—and fought—for our freedom.
